A handful of members of a group of property owners from across B.C., known as the West Coast Association of Property Owners, assembled outside the B.C. Supreme Court in Victoria on Monday during a break in their court case.
The group are petitioners in a court action they’ve brought against the provincial government. They’re upset because they operated legal short-term rentals—until the NDP’s new short-term rental laws came into effect last month.
“…we didn’t specifically put protections for your private property or real estate holdings in the constitution, so it is something that the provincial government has pretty wide latitude to legislate about…”
